Microchipped – Certificated Australian Lung Fish 12-15cm (Last One)
Lungfish are really fascinating because they’re like a living bridge between fish and amphibians — a window into evolution. Here are the most special things about them:
Unique Features of Lungfish
- Lungs and Gills Together
- Unlike most fish, lungfish can breathe with lungs (not just gills).
- They come to the surface to gulp air, especially in low-oxygen waters.
- Some species (African lungfish) are obligate air breathers → they’ll drown if they can’t reach the surface.
- Dormancy / Estivation
- African lungfish can survive months to years without water.

Received the Australian lungfish in perfect condition. It was microchipped and came with a certificate. The fish is active and shows signs of breathing at the surface. Very unique and fascinating to observe. Would recommend to anyone interested in evolutionary species.

The lungfish arrived healthy and was clearly labeled. It has adapted well to our tank setup. The dormancy ability is impressive — it stayed alive for several days without water. A rare and educational pet.

This is one of the most unusual aquarium pets I’ve ever had. The lungfish breathes air regularly and shows natural behavior. The microchip confirms it’s authentic. Great for educational displays or serious hobbyists.
